Collage, Mosaics, and mixed media art is so inspiring to me. I look at this mass of objects and I see history. I imagine where every little piece must have come from. I am interested in how artists preserve and compose a piece like this. What kind of adhesive do they use? I think of all the little junk objects I have collected and would love to make one of these.
I have also considered doing something similar for my father's tiny tchotchkes.' After he passed away, I received a box where he kept his Jaycee pins, his tie clips, watches, cuff links, and other miscellaneous things he kept over the years. These would be ideal for this kind of a project. All of those objects are not worth any money and have seen better days, but I have a hard time parting with them for sentimental value. If I were to add them to a collage/mosaic piece like this and hang it on the wall - what a great way to honor my father! I am thinking about doing the same thing for all my little similar objects. After doing an internet search I found this "Memory Mosaic," from
Fine Art America.
